The Gift Of STEM - STEM Group Kit Give away!

This holiday season we are giving the Gift of STEM to small maker and STEM Groups throughout December.

We want you to help play Santa and help out a local STEM group receive a selection of electronic kits!

What is STEM:
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is a broad term used to group together several academic disciplines.

Why is STEM Important
STEM Teaches Critical Thinking and Innovation in children and adults. Employment in STEM occupations is projected to grow 8.8% by 2028, and healthcare occupations, which generally require a strong STEM background, are projected to grow even more. Meanwhile, non-STEM occupations will only grow 5%.

What We Did:
We gave away a few parcels of STEM related electronic sets on the 2022 Holiday Season to Local STEM Groups. This could include things like a few multimeters from Multicomp, a classroom set of microbit or some Raspberry Pi Pico.

Great initiative - this kind of program would have made a difference to me if it had been implemented when I was in school.

Great initiative. I hope you can consider the young makers at the Ingegno maker space in Gent - Belgium as candidates to recieve a set of Raspberry Pi Pico. Enrico Miglino and Jan Cumps are frequent visitors of our makerspace and warmly encouraged us to take this opportunity. With a group of 12 kids we would like to delve into the ESA cansat competitions and start to learn the basics to then be able to participate next year.

Our group are enthousiastic kids between 10 and 15 year. In afterschool club we train as makers :-) we have many girls participating and we actively recruit them. The group is mixed (so not girls only) and that is by choice.

We have weekly meetings, openlabs when everybody can access the maker space and work at his/her own project and we also organise bootcamps in summer.

True! The test jig for the road test Sound Measurement and Vibration Measurement with the MCC 172 and the Raspberry Pi was made at Ingegno in Gent by balearicdynamics and me. We blogged about this a while ago: Field Trip to Enrico and the Ingegno Maker Space.
